Graph-based filtering method for network activity data

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11882141B1) outlines a method for processing information associated with activities within a network environment. The method involves receiving this information at a data platform, generating a logical graph based on the data, and storing it in a database. In response to a user interaction with the platform's interface, a query is generated using a graph-based schema, constructing a join graph with join links that maintain a reverse map of filter keys and entities. This query is then executed against the database, allowing for efficient filtering and retrieval of relevant information.

Furthermore, the patent details the user interaction scenarios, where the interface representation of the logical graph or a query field can trigger the filtering request. The method also includes generating SQL query strings using a query building library, discovering join relations via filter key specifications, and traversing paths along the join graph to manifest relationships between filter keys and entities. The patent also covers a computer program product and a system embodying these methods, providing a comprehensive approach to handling and querying data within a network environment efficiently and effectively.
